Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing the breath sounds of an adult client who has pneumonia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Following a systematic pattern from side-to-side moving down the client's chest allows the nurse to thoroughly assess all lung fields for any abnormal breath sounds, which is crucial in detecting pneumonia. Placing the bell of the stethoscope on the client's chest (
A) may not provide a comprehensive assessment of all lung fields. Asking the client to breathe deeply through the nose (
C) may not be necessary for assessing breath sounds and could potentially disrupt the assessment process. Instructing the client to sit erect with their head tilted slightly backward (
D) is not directly related to assessing breath sounds and may not enhance the nurse's ability to detect abnormal breath sounds.
